question
translation negation
What does じゃないじゃん mean? Does this count as a double negative?


In an uncontracted polite form, it would be 応援している場合では **ない** では **ない** ですか
and this is a double negative in the sense that it contains two negative
words, but not the kind in which they cancel out each other. A literal English
translation that retains the double negative structure would be something
like:

> Do you **not** think you should **not** be cheering for that girl?

But since じゃん comes at the end of a sentence, it should be easier to
understand it if you simply saw it as something like "right?" or "don't you
think?" that you put at the end of a sentence in English.
